Port Phillip Prison Testimonial

“My recruitment and onboarding experience was outstanding from the moment I applied to the moment I started my first day. I was contacted by my recruiter and hiring manager throughout the whole process, and information was always provided immediately if I was unsure about something. From day one I received thorough training and I still continue to learn from management and colleagues.”
